Kenneth A. Loparo 
Utopia in the Age of Globalization 
Space, Representation, and the World-System

The idea of ‘Utopia’ has made a comeback in the age of globalization, and the bewildering technological shifts and economic uncertainties of the present era call for novel forms of utopia. Tally argues that a new form of utopian discourse is needed for understanding, and moving beyond, the current world system.
